Full Day Sofia Tour
Sofia is one of the oldest cities on the Balkans found by the Thracian tribe Serdi. In 29 A.D. Sofia became the capital of the Roman province of Inner Dacia. Through the ages, the city played role as an important trading center in the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. Under Ottoman rule, Sofia was the center of Rumelia province. Sofia became the capital of restored Bulgaria in 1879, with a population of only about 12,000. Today many streets, buildings, parks, and even whole neighborhoods preserve the architectural style from the turn of the century. We will explore the compact city center, Boyana Church (UNESCO) and the National History Museum - one of the largest on the Balkans.

From Sofia: Belene - Communist Camps, Roman Ruins & Wildlife
Some destinations are beautiful. Some are historic. Very few are both - and almost none come with a story that no one else is telling. Belene Island sits in the middle of the Danube between Bulgaria and Romania. In a single extraordinary day you will stand where Roman soldiers controlled the frontier of the Empire, step inside a church that became a shrine to martyrs executed for their faith, walk through Bulgaria's most significant communist-era labour camp, and watch Dalmatian pelicans glide over Danube wetlands. But here is what makes this tour truly unique. The communist camp closed in 1989 - yet Belene Island never stopped being a place of confinement. An active prison operates here today, right alongside the memorial park and the Roman ruins. History here is not behind glass. It is still happening. Maximum 8 guests. Guaranteed from 1 booking. The only tour like this from Sofia. Note: passport copy required at least 48 hours before departure - we arrange your permit.
